1/31. pyoderma gangrenosum involving the foot. A case report.pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare and destructive inflammatory skin disease. The authors present a report of a patient with a classic case of pyoderma gangrenosum involving the foot. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical presentation and progression of the disease after differential diagnoses of common conditions were excluded. A brief overview of the disease process, its treatment, and its correlation with ulcerative colitis is provided.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = skin disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/31. Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (reticulate acropigmentation of Dohi): report of a Japanese family with the condition and a literature review of 185 cases.We report a Japanese family with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH) (MIM 127400 in McKusick's Mendelian Inheritance in Man), a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis, predominantly occurring among Japanese and Korean individuals. Members of the present family affected with the disease showed a mixture of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules distributed on the face and the dorsal aspects of the extremities, which are typical of DSH. As most of the literature on DSH has been written in Japanese, dermatologists outside japan are not familiar with the condition. In this paper, 185 cases of DSH, most of them reported in Japanese, are reviewed and unique clinical, histological and genetic features of this condition are delineated.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 21.794335007421keywords = dermatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/31. Juvenile neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis: a vasculitis-like plantar dermatosis.Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis is a variety of neutrophilic dermatosis described in patients with different neoplasms, most often leukaemia, and different chemotherapy regimens. It is characterised by neutrophilic infiltration of the eccrine coils of sweat glands. Recently it has been described in healthy juveniles, involving primarily the soles of the feet. We describe five new cases of juvenile neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis all showing a good prognosis or a self-limiting course.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 108.9716750371keywords = dermatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/31. Acrokeratoelastoidosis.Acrokeratoelastoidosis is a genodermatosis characterized by firm papules or plaques on the sides of the hands and feet. Although poorly understood, the lesions may result from an abnormality in the secretion or excretion of elastic material by fibroblasts in the dermis. In this report, we will present a patient with this rare condition and review the clinical and histopathologic features, cause, and differential diagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 21.794335007421keywords = dermatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/31. Atypical varicella with palm and sole involvement.Varicella is a common disease characterized by a typical presentation. We report a case of an atypical presentation of varicella with a centrifugal distribution, eruption with many vesicles, no pustular stage in evolution and distal involvement. There were none of the known modifying factors (immunosuppression, skin disease, injury or sun exposure). To explain the distal involvement we suggest intraepidermic lesions caused by a pre-existing B1 coxsackie infection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = skin disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/31. Petechial glove and sock syndrome caused by parvovirus B19.The petechial glove and sock syndrome is a recently described febrile dermatosis characterized by acral pruritus, edema, pain, petechiae, and an enanthem of petechiae and erosions; these features suggest a viral origin. We report a typical case in a 36-year-old woman. IgM antibodies to human parvovirus B19 (PVB19) were present, and acute and convalescent IgG antibodies demonstrated seroconversion, which suggested recent infection with PVB19. Results of tests for other viral and bacterial agents were negative. These results strongly implicate PVB19 as an etiologic agent in the petechial glove and sock syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 21.794335007421keywords = dermatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/31. oral manifestations of papular-purpuric 'gloves and socks' syndrome due to parvovirus B19 infection: the first case presented in greece and review of the literature.Papular-purpuric 'gloves and socks' syndrome (PPGSS) is a novel, rare, self-limited dermatosis initially described in 1990. It is characterized by painful, pruritic edema and erythema, rapidly evolving to papular-purpuric lesions on the distal extremities, in a gloves-and-socks distribution, accompanied by fever and oral lesions such as petechiae, vesiculopustules and small erosions. parvovirus B19 has been implicated in most cases as the etiological factor. Herein we present the first case of PPGSS in a 42-year-old Greek man with von Willebrand disease. On admission the patient was febrile, and presented acral edema and erythema rapidly followed by purpuric lesions on the same sites, and palatal petechiae. Complete remission of the exanthem occurred 7 days after hospitalization. Clinical and laboratory evaluation including serologic tests and PCR, confirmed the presence of parvovirus B19. review of the existing literature on this novel syndrome and its association with parvovirus B19 is also presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 21.794335007421keywords = dermatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/31. Localized pemphigoid on the soles of both feet.An 80-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a spontaneously appearing bullous dermatosis limited to the soles of both feet, causing an intense pruritus. She also suffered from Parkinson's disease and depression, and had been treated with levodopa, benserazide, and mirtazapine for several years. On clinical examination, we found several tense and hemorrhagic bullae, with a diameter of up to 3 cm, at both plantar sites and multiple, confluent, dyshidrotic vesicles ( Figs 1 and 2). The rest of the skin, including the mucous membranes and palms, was normal. The first clinical diagnosis was podopompholyx, but histopathologic findings and direct immunofluorescence revealed a diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid, showing subepidermal blisters (Fig. 3) and linear deposits of C3 and immunoglobulin g (IgG). Indirect immunofluorescence was positive, the IgG autoantibodies bound to the epidermal site of salt-split skin, and circulating antibodies against bullous pemphigoid antigens 1 and 2 were found. Because of this typical clinical picture, a diagnosis of dyshidrotic pemphigoid, a localized form of bullous pemphigoid, was made. Under systemic treatment with prednisolone, 40 mg/day, the skin healed completely within 2 weeks. Descriptions of dyshidrotic pemphigoid limited to the soles of both feet are very rare, and the clinical findings might easily lead to a misdiagnosis of podopompholyx.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 21.794335007421keywords = dermatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/31. Congenital subcutaneous granuloma annulare.granuloma annulare is a palisading granulomatous skin disease which may be generalized, localized, perforating, or subcutaneous. Subcutaneous granuloma annulare is self-limiting, affecting infants and children, with typical postnatal onset. Here we report a patient with congenital clinical manifestations.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = skin disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/31. A case of mixed bullous disease of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita and linear iga bullous dermatosis.A 75-year-old Japanese male visited us with bullous eruptions on the extremities. physical examination revealed large bullae on the hands, lower legs and feet. The oral mucosa was also involved. histology disclosed subepidermal blister with inflammatory cell infiltrates in the dermis. Direct immunofluorescence showed deposits of IgG and IgA at the cutaneous basement membrane zone. Indirect immunofluorescence on 1 M NaCl-split human skin sections demonstrated that the patient's IgG antibodies reacted with the dermal side of the split, while IgA antibodies reacted with the epidermal side. immunoblotting showed that the patient's serum reacted with the NC1 domain of type VII collagen (290-kDa epidermolysis bullosa acquisita antigen) as well as the 120-kDa linear iga bullous dermatosis antigen, LAD-1. Systemic prednisolone resulted in a favorable response. From the clinicopathological findings, the present case is not consistent with either epidermolysis bullosa acquisita or IgA bullous dermatosis. Therefore, we regarded the case as mixed bullous disease of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita and linear iga bullous dermatosis. Such a case has not been previously reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 152.56034505194keywords = dermatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
